I guess you used the return key instead of clicking on the search icon? Seems to be a bug with the return key, I'll fix that this weekend sorry.

- 1718627440 9mo agoTrue, didn't occur to me, that I should click on the icon instead. Once I have clicked on the search icon once, enter also works. When I input a short query (single letter) it sometimes just shows a blank page, but maybe that is just HNs hug of death. Consider putting the query term more prominently in the front of the URL, so users can edit it. Also from the startpage, the URL in the URLbar isn't updated. As I already wrote, the browser shows completion for the searchbar on the result page, but does not for the one one the startpage. For my taste I would prefer less JS trickery, which would maybe already get rid of some of these issues.
- saltysalt 9mo agoAppreciate the detailed feedback! A lot of the JS trickery and URL shenanigans I'm doing is to prevent bot spam attempts, which was a real problem in the beginning.
- 1718627440 9mo agoSad state the web is in. It is intended, that the page currently shows a link to the wordpress login?
- saltysalt 9mo agoIt does not use WordPress.
- 1718627440 9mo agoI'm sorry, I am dumb and visited http://grepper.org/ http://grepper.org/ . Where does your name come from I guess from grep for the WWW?
- saltysalt 9mo agoYes correct, that is where the name comes from.
